    Error when trying to update

    Hi all!

    Kubuntu 14.04 LTS system on a Dell T7500 (48GB w/24 cores)

    I keep on getting the following errors when trying to update:

    An error occurred while applying changes:

    linux-image-3.13.0-113-generic subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 linux-image-3.13.0-115-generic subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 linux-image-3.13.0-116-generic subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 linux-image-3.13.0-117-generic subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic package linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed') linux-image-extra-3.13.0-117-generic dependency problems - leaving unconfigured linux-image-generic dependency problems - leaving unconfigured linux-generic dependency problems - leaving unconfigured linux-image-extra-3.13.0-113-generic dependency problems - leaving unconfigured linux-image-extra-3.13.0-115-generic package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-115-generic is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed') linux-image-extra-3.13.0-116-generic dependency problems - leaving unconfigured linux-image-extra-3.13.0-44-generic package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-44-generic is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')



    Any help in fixing this would be most appreciated.

    Best,

    James

    It looks like you have some things that didnt get fully installed. Try to force dpkg to finish up the install process:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a

        Ok. We're getting somewhere. The packages can't be configured because you are missing dependencies. Try getting apt to take care of it:
        Code:
        sudo apt install -f

              From the output of sudo dpkg --configure -a, it appears as if you have mixed some Debian Linux packages and/or included a Debian repository with your Ubuntu repositories:

              It would be helpful to see what you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

                    why did you install syslinux ,,,,,,,are you not using grub to boot .

                    this directory (/usr/share/syslinux) dose not exist @hear ,,,,,explane the purpose of your use for it .

                      At one time I must have.

                      Would it be safe to remove it?

                      It will remove unebootin-which I do use to create bootable USB drives.

                        Okay, I removed it.

                        It was part of unebootin though.
